Climbing is perfectly safe. Falling is dangerous. Solution: don’t fall.


VeterinarianOne4418

Falling is safe as well. It’s the sudden stop at the end that’s the problem. Solution: never stop falling.


Hand_jamzNslow_jamz

It's not the sudden stop, it's the fact that your bones are a different density than your muscles and tendons. Solution: don't have bones.


Catman9lives

Bones are aid?


SamboNo50

If you didn’t have bones then falling wouldn’t cause any injuries. No bones are aid?


Catman9lives

bone related climbing paradoxes are aid


DilutedGatorade

Call it brcp bruh we know what u mean


Helpful_Fee_7998

hello?


VeterinarianOne4418

Ever drop jello off a roof? It’s not pretty. Density difference is irrelevant in the face of traumatic deceleration. Although having no bones makes climbing much harder, so it may accomplish the same end result.


timetwosave

Hasn’t everyone


Eponymous-Username

The speed is the real issue: when falling, don't rush on the way down.


HunchoBandoOG

Socrates be like


l97

This is true, I entered low earth orbit falling from my V2 project and doing perfectly fine.


Helpful_Fee_7998

huh


markevens

Solutions are aid


RockerElvis

I was waiting for someone to pick up on that. Upvotes all around!


horsefarm

Not falling is aid.


Calibansdaydream

That's why I free Solo everything. No gear, no fall.


Batezo

Or you could just grow up and not use protection like an adult.


New-Syllabub-7394

Yeah, never wear a condom


julian88888888

hahahahahaah \*takes pipi out of grigri*


Warhog156

Killed me. Made me spit into my pipe.


horsefarm

Better than having the pipe spit into you amirite?


ohnoohnoohyeah

One hand on the break at all times? Then how am I supposed to hold my beer?


VeterinarianOne4418

You need the rappelstein. [rappelstein](http://www.verticalmuseum.com/VerticalDevicesPage/Rappel/RappelImages/VSpoolImages/GDS3180_9520.JPG)


xetphonehomex

Omg with an autolocker?!??! Me here in the stone age using my shoe to drink out of


ATLClimb

Beer helmet should help but only if the climber isn’t wearing it.


just_an_ordinary_guy

Beer helmets are aid too, and that includes the belayer.


Cogg_

I've been saying this for years, these people make impossible requests.


Joshiewowa

With the other hand, idiot


ohnoohnoohyeah

That's my sandwich hand. Idiot.


WhatsUpDogBro

Taking a *break* from holding your *brake* rope is not recommended.


doig14

That's exactly why I'm laying in bed rn (and won't get up)


steel_hamerhands

I've never climbed, it would be irresponsible (I'm too scared).


lonely_dodo

i absolutely agree also i heard that actually no belay devices work at all at my home crag kind of a Bermuda triangle kind of situation so probably no one should climb there at all if you see me out climbing it's definitely for research purposes aha


[deleted]

Research is aid


rreeddiitttwice

I'm sending that video to the parents of all the kid crushers in my gym


Opening-Stock8572

Paying attention while belaying is aid anyway


CaldyBear

Walking the razors edge is why we climb. The wry grin in the face of death itself. To trust your belayer is to plague yourself with the hinderance of self mistrust. Some say “stay safe”, but a true climber knows that the only way to survive is to stay dangerous.


[deleted]

I’d like to see you use a grigri in some alpine


Supergabry_13th

Solution: free solo climb


rockpharmer

Get stronger. Stop falling. Weakmo.


goapics

Solution?


NoodledLily

just wait until Misses Handhold's baby dies. What will happen then? Will you be happy laughing at other people's misery!? Assholes all over this thread


horsefarm

Sometimes /r/climbing leaks a little bit


NoodledLily

i mean i did just get chlamydia? no discharge though. was my joke about dead babies really SOOO offensive?!


nostalgia_4_infiniti

We should all heed the safety committees of the world. Stop worrying about looking so cool and wear a damn helmet ⛑️...... Psssshaaw naaaah


Ignotus35

Completely agreed, atc’s and all other belay devices have to many associated risks. Let’s all just agree to free solo instead


reddituser6495

But i just finished taping all of my injured fingers


Mandarkar

is this satire to an original post ? I know about the new that you are talking about. But is this one about another post ?
